...there is also a surgical approach to fixing a broken wrist; it's had its place for decades. It was always a judgment call though: back in the day we sometimes would operate if the fracture was really bad.

The surgical results when the wrist was truly blown to bits often seemed to be worse than the results with closed treatment. The body can get it right - or at least more right than a surgeon can - once in a while...

...day that the most famous male athlete in the U.S. has broken his silence, America's most famous female athlete comes across as ingratiatingly anti-Woods. Sure, Vonn has her fair share of handlers and sponsors. But on this morning in Whistler, on a rare day off between the super combined and the super-G - which kicks off Saturday and is another speed event in which Vonn is the favorite - she is just being herself: unguarded, opinionated, fun. Although the Olympics have put her on a pedestal, Vonn still likes being one of the guys. (See the top 10 worst...
